1508150 - "Delete All" browser console functionality does not delete session storage items permanently if the web page is restored

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[baptx]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

I was asked to create a separate issue for the problem that I originally described here with another related issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1501594

If we set a session storage item manually via the browser console (on bugzilla.mozilla.org for example) and we close the tab, window or browser, when we restore the web page, the session storage item is restored correctly.
However, in the browser console, in "Storage" tab, "Session Storage", if we right click on a session storage item and select "Delete All", the session storage item is deleted but when we close the tab, window or browser and restore the web page, the session storage item is restored even if it was deleted! (in fact, to really delete a session storage item in the browser console, we have to select "Delete <key_name>" instead of "Delete all" or execute sessionStorage.removeItem(<key_name>) in the browser console).

Update: it looks like this issue has been fixed in the latest Firefox version
